Turbocharge Your Ride: How to Make Your Mi Electric Scooter Faster

With the rising popularity of electric scooters as a convenient and eco-friendly mode of transportation, many riders are seeking ways to enhance their scooter's performance. The Xiaomi Mi electric scooter is a widely used model that offers a balance between speed, range, and affordability. However, with a top speed of around 15.5 mph (25 km/h), some riders may crave increased velocity. Here's how you can make your Mi electric scooter faster with a few modifications and adjustments.



  1. Upgrade the firmware:
    One of the most straightforward ways to unlock more speed is by upgrading your scooter's firmware. Custom firmware options, such as CFW, offer several tweaks and modifications to your scooter's settings. You can control various parameters, such as the top speed, acceleration, and cruising speed. Be cautious when using custom firmware, as it may void your warranty or lead to overheating issues with excessive speed.



  2. Install a higher-voltage battery:
    Upgrading your scooter's battery to a higher voltage can provide the added power required for speed. A higher voltage battery not only enhances your scooter's top speed but also improves acceleration and torque. Keep in mind that a higher battery capacity may require additional modifications for compatibility, such as an upgraded charger and battery management system (BMS).



  3. Swap out the motor controller:




The scooter's motor controller plays a crucial role in governing its speed. Swapping out the stock motor controller with a more powerful one can provide better overall performance. Be sure to research and choose a motor controller compatible with the Mi electric scooter to ensure smooth installation and operation.



  1. Upgrade the tires:
    Although upgrading tires may not directly affect the scooter's top speed, they can improve grip, handling, and stability at higher speeds. Thicker, softer tires provide better shock absorption for a smoother ride and can help you maintain a faster pace without compromising safety.



  2. Adjust scooter settings:
    Some electric scooter apps, such as Levy Electric, allow you to adjust your scooter's settings, including acceleration and top speed. Before making adjustments, ensure that your scooter's battery life and motor performance can handle the changes, as pushing your scooter beyond its limits may result in damage or reduced lifespan.




Remember, safety is the top priority when making scooter modifications. Ensure that you familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations regarding electric scooter modificationsEnsure that you familiarize yourself with local laws and regulations regarding electric scooter modifications , as altering your scooter may lead to legal consequences. Always wear protective gear, such as a helmet, while riding, and always obey posted speed limits.
